    HEFTY HERESIES: Montanism: The (sorta) Original Doomsday Cult

    HEFTY HERESIES: Montanism: The (sorta) Original Doomsday Cult

    Okay fine, "original doomsday cult" is a little on the dramatic side. But come on, Montanism is like the perfect Frankenstein's monster of heresies. You've got a dash of modalism, a sprinkle of hyper-pentacostalism, and a healthy splash of end times panic. And all before the 3rd Century!

    Montanism was a strange movement in the early days of Christianity. It demonstrated a growing tension that some believers had about how the Holy Spirit interacted with believers at that point in history. There are lots of cool things to talk about in this episode.

    Thanks for being here! You're the coolest person we know.

    Anabaptism: The Radical Reformers

    Anabaptism: The Radical Reformers

    The Protestant Reformation in the 16th Century wasn't just a movement. It was a million dominoes falling to trigger a BUNCH of movements all across Europe.

    One of the most unique of these movements was that of the Anabaptists. While Lutherans and Calvinists fought about whether justification or predestination were cooler sounding words, Anabaptists were marching to the beat of a very different drum.

    So what's the deal? Are Anabaptists the ancestors of modern day Baptists? We'll talk about all that and more.

    HEFTY HERESIES: Marcionism- Is the God from the Old Testament Evil?

    HEFTY HERESIES: Marcionism- Is the God from the Old Testament Evil?

    Have you ever read through the Old Testament and thought, "Geez, God seems a little harsh compared to that Jesus guy"? 

    Well, Marcion of Sinope had that thought as well. In fact, he would have argued that they were completely different gods. 

    Join Thomas and John as they explore Marcionism, a 2nd century heresy with lots and lots of fun heretical ideas. Oh and John will consistently call him "Marcius" instead of Marcion, because we're really bad historians.

    John Williamson Nevin: Re-learning the Sacraments

    John Williamson Nevin: Re-learning the Sacraments

    Have you ever wondered why Protestants don't have a richer view of the sacraments (a fancy word for 'visible means of grace,' like baptism if you're a Protestant, or confession if you're a Catholic)? Or ever wondered why most Protestant churches tend to be so "dressed down" and casual, compared to high-church settings?

    Well then you're in good company. 

    Join us today as we're joined by our good friend Nick Davis, who will be walking us through the life of John Williamson Nevin, 19th century theologian and author of Mercersburg Theology.

    HEFTY HERESIES: Eutychianism- Does Jesus Have Only One Nature?

    HEFTY HERESIES: Eutychianism- Does Jesus Have Only One Nature?

    At this point, people really should have learned to stop making up new ideas about Jesus' nature. But some people never learn. 

    This week, we end up with Eutychianism, an overcorrection of the heresy of Nestorianism. This one suggested, "What if Jesus' two natures were just kind of, like, blended together into one?" 

    We'll break down why that's problematic, but also how this particular issue broke a lot of church unity...and why that may not have been a bad thing...

    Exposing Myths about the Council of Nicaea (with Ben Lansing)

    Exposing Myths about the Council of Nicaea (with Ben Lansing)

    The Council of Nicea might be one of the most commonly misunderstood events in church history. 

    Everyone from TikTok influencers, Joe Rogan, and that one guy who wrote the Da Vinci Code, have different opinions on what went down on that fateful day in 325 AD. 

    So hey, let's uh, break up some myths! Also, our wonderfully fun guest Ben Lansing (of Our Church Speaks) will be joining in as well. What could be better than that?

    @churchhistory4chumps 

    HEFTY HERESIES: Nestorianism- Is Mary the Mother of God?

    HEFTY HERESIES: Nestorianism- Is Mary the Mother of God?

    Through our Hefty Heresies series, we've kind of done a "series within a series" as we cover the four major Christological heresies of the early church (following Arianism and Docetism). 

    This week we're covering Nestorianism (kind of a part 3 for our series within a series), which was borne from a dude who thought that Docetism was just the worst. 

    Also: in the first minute or so, we joked about an episode that hasn't *actually* dropped yet. But, you should get excited because our next chat with Ben Lansing is coming next week! 

    HEFTY HERESIES: Docetism- Was Jesus Really Human?

    HEFTY HERESIES: Docetism- Was Jesus Really Human?

    Docetism (or Apollinarianism for people who like syllables) is basically the evil little brother of Arianism. 

    While Arianism said that Jesus wasn't cool enough to be God, Docetism said that Jesus was too cool to be a human. It was an idea born in the shadow of Arianism's larger threat, but still created a troubling take on Jesus that the early church needed to sort out. 

    Also, at around the 6:15 mark, I made the funniest joke of the ENTIRE series, and Thomas just flatlined me, man. I'm still hurt about it. 

    Anyways. Follow us at @churchhistory4chumps. U da best.

    HEFTY HERESIES: Arianism- Was Jesus Really God?

    HEFTY HERESIES: Arianism- Was Jesus Really God?

    For our WW2 homies: This isn't the Aryanism (with the blue eyes and blonde hair stuff) that Hitler was a big fan of. This was, rather, one of the most vicious heresies that Satan ever hurled at the 4th century church: the view that Jesus was not God. 

    But let us be clear: All Arianisms suck. They suck hard. 

    We're psyched to be back for Season 2! And we're psyched that you're here with us. 

    Give us a follow on IG to keep up with the shenanigans at @churchhistory4chumps. 

    Why It's Good We Can Be Wrong // Episode 167

    Why It's Good We Can Be Wrong // Episode 167

    We may not like being wrong, but if there were no way to tell right from wrong, that seems a worse scenario.

    Joseph has been re-reading a book by Hilaire Belloc, called The Great Heresies, and he wanted to talk both about the book and the fact that Catholics belong to a substantial tradition and ascribe to a real body of teaching, to which we can be in alignment or out of alignment. And he's glad that that exists.

    You can find the full digital text of the book here: https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/great-heresies-3103

As per usual, we also go on many tangents, including on the loss of creative beauty over time, whether or not we believe in relics, and the issue of Mother Teresa!  Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

    027: Michael Knowles and Fr. Reehill

    027: Michael Knowles and Fr. Reehill

    As we review Michael Knowles and Fr. Dan Reehill, we discuss some of the differences between Protestant and Catholic belief systems and where catholics fall short of the Biblical account. 

    We then dive into the discussion between these two men and offer some Christian perspective on the topics they cover.

    Who’s it for: People who watch movies and take their Christian faith seriously.


    The WatchWell Podcast presented by Parker Brown Cinematography is a Christian movie review podcast that discusses false or incoherent worldviews in comparison to the Christian worldview. We watch a movie, discuss the plots and character arcs that Hollywood pieces together to tell us how life is or isn’t and then we go to the Bible to interpret its authenticity.


    Acts 17:22 Paul went to the men of Athens. The WatchWell Podcast aims at Hollywood and their art to demonstrate the unknown God. That even in their art they cant help but depict what they already know to be true in their hearts. That God is real, the Bible is true, and Christ is King.

    The Crucifixion of Jesus: Why Did He Have to Die?

    The Crucifixion of Jesus: Why Did He Have to Die?

    The 1st century execution of Jesus of Nazareth is arguably the single most well-known historical event ever recorded. But while the facts of his death are largely unchallenged nearly two millennia later, the purpose and meaning of the death of Jesus (the central figure of the world's largest religion) is still to this day a source of much debate, discussion, and interpretation. Listen to this special extended episode to learn more about Jesus Christ, his crucifixion, and the various ways Christians interpret his death at the hands of the Roman Empire.

    Religion and the American Revolution with Katherine Carté

    Religion and the American Revolution with Katherine Carté

    The American Revolution disrupted the trans-Atlantic ties between American and British Protestants.  Imperial Protestantism had helped helped to drive support for the British Empire, and the Empire seemed to Protestants on both sides of the Atlantic to be a way to propagate the faith.  But the Revolution  forced a recalibration of the role of religion in the lives of 18th-century citizens across the Atlantic World.  Professor Katherine Carté discusses all this with us, in a conversation about her award-winning book, Religion and the American Revolution: An Imperial History.


    CCP29: On Protestants and Catholics

    CCP29: On Protestants and Catholics

    In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they explore the key differences between Catholicism and Protestantism, beginning with a look back at the history of the early Church. One of those divides has to do with salvation: whether it comes down to “Jesus plus nothing” or “Jesus plus something.” But what may surprise you when listening to their conversation is how much we really do have in common.

    Episode Links

    Mecklenburg Community Church, where Dr. White is the founding and senior pastor, is an interdenominational church with a lot of people attending who grew up in the Catholic Church. He has had a lot of first-hand experience with people who find themselves deconstructing from their Catholic upbringing. If the idea of deconstructing is new to you, we would suggest you go back and listen to last week's podcast, “CCP28: On Deconstructing.” And for a deeper dive into all things deconstruction, check out a recent series given by Dr. White called “The Deconstruction Zone.”

    If this podcast sparks an interest in knowing more about how the Christian faith compares to other religions of the world, you'll want to check out a series Dr. White delivered at Meck called “So What's the Difference?” This six-part series tackled Christianity compared to: Eastern Religions (including Hinduism and Buddhism), Judaism, Islam, Catholicism, Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses.

    Sometimes the Catholic Church finds itself coming under criticism for its large cathedrals, particularly the great cathedrals of Europe. Ultimately they were created to inspire worship, and Dr. White wrote a blog about one of his favorites, Chartres, that you can read about here.

    For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog and check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday.

    56 - Clifford Humphrey on Misreading Mere Christianity, Anthropology, and Habit Formation

    56 - Clifford Humphrey on Misreading Mere Christianity, Anthropology, and Habit Formation

    In this episode, I talk with Dr. Clifford Humphrey on how Christians have misunderstood Mere Christianity. We discuss how most people misread and have misapplied C.S. Lewis’s aim in his book Mere Christianity. We dive into theological anthropology and implications for Christian formation and spirituality. We close discussing baptist political theology. 

    Bio from Troy University - “Dr. Humphrey, originally from Warm Springs, Georgia, earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University. Following graduation, he spent a few years learning the trade of woodworking in New York City and did a bit of world traveling before attending the Van Andel Graduate School of Statesmanship at Hillsdale College.

    After earning his PhD, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Catholic University of America and most recently helped launch Thales College in Raleigh, North Carolina.”
